Re: 2nd graph is kinda pointless
said by tiger72  :That is, however, false because in most of those countries their population is heavily centered in a select few cities, while the rest of the country goes broadband-less but drives down the overall density figure... Not true. These countries actually have broadband policies that encourage deployment to all citizens, not, as in the U.S., just a select class. Examples: BT has wired all CO's in Scotland, even in the Highlands. A farmer in the countryside in Korea has broadband access to sell his product, just as his city brethren.
This was years ago and before DSL was deployed, but I remember being amazed having ISDN in tiny hamlet way up in the French Alps. |
